Officejet 6500 wireless has stopped printing ALL color.

Officejet 6500 wireless has stopped printing any color. Catridges are HP brand, new and full (and have been replaced twice due to trying "clean printhead" several times to solve issue). Have also tried "reset" - including unplug, #3. I am at a loss. Any suggestions??

Send the cartridges back! HP cartridges are coded and will only work with HP printers. Hp has had problems with their coded cartridges. Especially if they were manufactured overseas. Their own product won't recognize the cartridges. It is not the printer it is the cartridges.

SOURCE: HP Officejet pro l7580 magenta won't print, new HP cartridge 8/11

At first my black wouldn't print. I cleaned the print head, replaced the cartridge and black will not print. Now, to test the other colors I tried to copy an article with color photos and it's all blurry as well.

I receive no error messages and would hate to spend $70 on a new print head when this may not be the problem.

Thanks

SOURCE: I just replaced by black

Hi,

The following may work: remove all the ink supplies. Remove the printhead and soak it for about 5 minutes in 0.5" of very hot water. Gently blot the printhead on a soft damp paper towel to remove the excess water, then replace in the printer and then reinstall the ink supplies.

My HP Officejet 6500 Wireless printer won't print in black when trying to print from Microsoft Office Word and Microsoft Office Excel or PDF. The ink cartridge is new. I have turned the printer off and...

I also have the OfficeJet 6500 and had the same problem. The black text was printing using a mix of colored inks instead of the black ink, resulting in a grey, fuzzy text. I finally found a solution. In each application under Page Setup, there is an option called "Format for". Mine had been set to "Any Printer". I changed that to "Officejet 6500 E709n [830E4A]" and now it prints the black just fine. I have a Mac running 10.4.11. Hope this helps.

I have a HP 6500. I just got all the cartridges refilled. How do i reset them so the printer will recognize them as full?

You can now replace the catridge into position but in most cases the printer driver software can have errors while being in use or is shut down during this maintenance . So to reset remove your printer from the PC and uninstall the printer software. Now reinstall the printer software and then connect the Printer to be detected as a new hardware as it will be installed. Now check the printer properties to see the ink levels.
Activate head cleaning before a test is taken . Sometimes it is possible that the head is not reacting to the need of the PC command or can be an issue with ink drying or
poor ink cartridge contacts.

HP Officejet 6500 Will not print black. All ink if full, even replaced the black cartridge with new. Clean heads (via utility) 3 times. All other color cartridges (c,m,y) are printing. Work fine...

two actions I took that worked.

1) Remove the print cartridges. Raise the lever that holds the printer casing down (plastic square box), lift it up gently, remove it, and wipe with a clean, dry paper towel.

2) from the menu option on the printer. Go through the set up option and select "clean printer head" from the options. It will also do a self clean.

I did those two and it works nice.

not ridiculous as the new printer costs less than replacement cartridges

Printer only won't print in black

My printer did that a few months ago. I tried everything to get it printing black but in the end I had to take the ink cartridge back and return a new one. Some ink cartridges dry out when they are being shipped if not stored in proper conditions.

Take out the catridges clean them with a Lint free cloth (copper contacts); also clean the catridge slot of the printer; put in back the catridges ;
Unplug the power cable from the back of the printer; press and hol down the (#) and the (6) button simultaneously with one hand and with the other hand put in back the power cable; and then release the (#) and (6) button;
It will perform a reset on the printer
IF still then it doesn't work then the catridge slot's copper contacts has gone bad and need to replace
